Sneaky Places for Stickers and Socks
These are loud socks.
Brooke’s post “Sayle was here” inspired me to write about some marks that are left around our house that let you know a child lives here.
First I’ll start with stickers. The stickers seem to be popping up everywhere, stuck to things in the most unexpected places. It doesn’t even surprise me anymore when I see them. Like when I sat down in the car and saw a sticker on the steering wheel. Or when I go to open the dishwasher and there’s a row of butterfly stickers across the front.
I have a little girl that loves stickers and she can never have enough. Luckily our supply of stickers is constantly being replenished from birthday party goodie bags, class party favors and bonus pages out of coloring books. Stickers are everywhere. Some other interesting places in our house that have been decorated with colorful stickers: dining room chair, (the seat so that if you’re lucky it’ll stick to your butt when you get up), the bathroom counter, the kitchen floor, my checkbook, some of Serophina’s shirts and shoes and sometimes my husband’s face.
Now, socks. One day I went on a mission to find all matching pairs of baby/kid socks. I laid out all the socks that were missing their partners and promised that I would reunite them asap. It took weeks to find some. Here are some of the places I found a few: my rain coat pocket, an old purse, the nightstand drawer, Serophina’s toy bin, and I even found one buried in the mulch in our front yard.
Just a normal part of life when you have kids, scattered socks and stickers everywhere.
What kind of miscellaneous things do you find around the house?
